Centre to monitor maintenance of Goa highways through app
Image for representation Panaji: Repairs of damaged highways across Goa and their maintenance, carried out by contractors during the defect liability period, will now be centrally monitored by officials of the Union ministry of road transport and Highways (MoRTH) for their quality and timely delivery through an app. The state public works department (PWD) has already received instructions from the ministry to come on board the app, which became operational on July 21. This app is in addition to the 'NHAI One' app, which monitors the progress of highway projects, ensuring timely execution. Over Rs 14,000 crore was sanctioned over the last few years by the MoRTH for highway expansion and upgrading in Goa. Works worth another Rs 3,000 to Rs 4,000 crore were sanctioned recently. The ministry wants to be able to monitor the effective maintenance of this infrastructure developed through a huge investment. 'The new app is to ensure better internal management of national highways. Central and state officials will be trained in its use. MoRTH has also formed a WhatsApp group for quick information and interaction between maintenance teams and officers for an integrated approach towards highway maintenance management,' said an official. The mobile application also allows geo-fencing, and central officials will monitor works carried out in Goa through automated reports and using a comprehensive dashboard. 'The application facilitates timely updates and verification of defect rectification, manages timelines and penalties, standardises inspection processes, and enhances communication via notifications. The module is specifically designed for works executed by state govts and project implementation units of MoRTH under maintenance contracts, as well as for maintenance during the defect liability period,' said the state official. ''NHAI One' streamlines the management of highway projects, improving overall efficiency and addressing both citizen complaints and on-site project requirements. The 'Rajmargyatra' app is citizen-centric and provides information about the highway, toll plaza, nearby amenities such as petrol pumps, hospitals, charging stations, weather updates, etc. The new app is for efficient internal management of highway works already carried out,' said the official.

Vehicles abandoned on road: BMC plans to trace owners, send notice via text msg
Mumbai: While the BMC has so far pasted notices on over 3,000 vehicles asking owners to remove abandoned, defunct, or scrapped vehicles which have been illegally left on public roads, the civic body now plans to obtain details of the ownership of these vehicles from the RTO or traffic police and send notices by way of text messages to the owners to remove the vehicle from the road. "The vehicles are towed to the yards of contractors 72 hours after the issuance of the notice. It is expected that owners of the vehicles take cognisance of the notice pasted on the vehicle. However, now we are also planning to seek data on ownership of these vehicles. Thereafter, we plan to send them the notices in the form of an SMS on their mobile phones, said a civic official. The BMC said they have initiated action to dispose of abandoned and defunct or scrapped vehicles illegally left on public roads. Till Aug 12, a total of 4,325 abandoned vehicles have been found across Mumbai, it claimed. Of these, 3,153 vehicle owners have been issued notices, while a total of 1,927 abandoned and defunct/scrap vehicles have been taken to the yard.

After 30 days of the vehicle being towed, it is disposed of and the owner cannot make any claims over it. However, if vehicle owners want their vehicles back, they need to pay the penalty amount within 30 days. The maximum penalty amount that the BMC can charge for light motor vehicles is Rs 15,100, while for two wheelers the maximum penalty it can levy is Rs 8,300, which includes per day delay charges. The BMC has framed a policy for disposal of abandoned and defunct or scrapped vehicles on roadsides as part of its effort to clear roads of obstacles. Accordingly, the civic body has appointed agencies to identify abandoned vehicles. The WhatsApp numbers of the contractors, for complaints regarding vehicles abandoned on public roads for long periods, are 7505123456 for island city area, 9819543092 for Eastern suburbs and 8828896903 for Western suburbs.
